Argentina club Boca Juniors announced Saturday it has signed 36-year-old Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani on a free transfer.
The club said it has an 18-month deal which will see the veteran player compete in the knockout stage of this year's Copa Libertadores.
“We are happy to have you here,” Boca Juniors said on social media, posting a highlight reel of Cavani's career and an image of a Boca No. 10 shirt with the Uruguayan's name on it.
Earlier, Spanish team Valencia said in a statement it had terminated its contract with Cavani, which was due to expire next year.
Cavani has struggled with several muscular injuries in the recent past. He played only 28 matches for Valencia and scored seven goals.
